Not presuming for a single moment to comment on the scholarship here - but the nomenclature.<br /><br />I have noticed in more than one American publication - as well as in televised lectures - that American scholars are not equally confident or consistent when discussing the independent country of Papua New Guinea.<br /><br />This might not matter other than as a matter of pride, or courtesy, were it not for the fact that Papua New Guineans are composed of two completely different groups, with completely different origins. Until Independence in 1975, Australia administered the Protectorate of the two separate countries of Papua (Southern coastal fringe) and New Guinea (the Northern Mountain ranges).<br /><br />The Papuans are descendants of the people from Samoa, Tahiti, and even Hawaii. Whether they set off deliberately, were blown of course, were following a known water way through the Pacific, is not yet established, They are relative newcomers. They are tall, pale brown skin, with straight hair.<br /><br />The New Guineans are the original inhabitants with a history in the country which reaches far back. They are very dark brown/black, very short &amp; powerfull, with tight, curly hair, and some live in hunter-gatherer groups to this day.Their Art, Religions, History,Diet, - their entire culture - is sharply, demonstrably, and recordedly, in direct contrast to that of the sensuous Papuans.<br /><br />Thus any connection to Denisovans and Papuans would not simply be truly astonishing, but would therefore have repercussions throughout all the Pacific Islands as all inhabitants of the several hundreds of island and countries, then, that share the same DNA as the Papuans, would also carry Denisovan DNA.<br /><br />Were it, on the other hand, the original inhabitants - the New Guineans - found to have Denisovan DNA it would be a further peeling back of the layers which Anthropologists have been studying for decades: where did the New Guineans come from, who were their ancestors, what are their origins?<br /><br />As I stressed, this isn&#39;t mere pedantry about continually getting the name of a country wrong-<br /> but of these findings being completely misinterpreted. <br /><br /> <br />Cireena Simcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06175939051492582534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839408535359235606.post-25242977624337032842018-03-07T20:55:08.920+02:002018-03-07T20:55:08.920+02:00Having read the &quot;maps of the Ancient Sea King...Having read the &quot;maps of the Ancient Sea Kings&quot; Hapgood, Maps exist in perfect longitude and latitude of the entire east coast of the America&#39;s and the Antarctica shape is also exact and it has been covered by billions of tons of ice for 12 thousand years.

This would make much more sense for the moving of coffins, objects, and living people into the burial chambers of the king and queen/ka chamber, rather than the idea of hoisting objects into the ceiling of a descending shaft and then forcing grave goods upwards through another small shaft towards the Grand Gallery. It would also make entry and exiting the pyramid much easier for the funeral parties, rather than sliding down a narrow shaft to get out of the tomb or referring to the idea that there might have been an elaborate interior circuit to allow the escape of the funeral parties out of the tomb. They simply walked horizontally out of the corridor and out the entry (perhaps assisted by the funerary ramp leading from the entry to the grade below) and thence into the Egyptian sun. Perhaps one should look for the end of this horizontal corridor in the area of the beginning of the Grand Gallery. <br /><br />What this means is that the ancient shafts, tunneling and chambers below the level of the exterior entry on the exterior or in the interior of the pyramid were actually the abandoned parts of the complex in total, and that the true entry to the interior of the pyramid is exactly where it is so monumentally indicated on the pyramid face. Now, what further struck me is that the Grand Gallery may have been designed for enclosing a lift mechanism to get Khufu and his goods (or even funeral visitors) to the king&#39;s chamber located now above the level of the entry corridor and the Queen&#39;s chamber (which did not require a lifting mechanism to furnish as it was on a more less level elevation with the entry). It also suggests that the pyramid had been built to the level of the exterior entry before the rest of the structure above was constructed and marked the end of the effort to bury Khufu in the rock chamber beneath. <br /><br />Scott Zemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639384011224757314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839408535359235606.post-27699683894781390992017-11-02T21:32:19.832+02:002017-11-02T21:32:19.832+02:00Thanks for this very interesting paper on Neandert...Thanks for this very interesting paper on Neanderthal noses: &quot;the Asian model achieves a rapid air conditioning, followed by the Neanderthals, whereas the European model attains a proper conditioning only around the medium-posterior tract.&quot; This is what we expected: most Asian are cold-adapted, more than Neanderthals. It&#39;s often assumed than Neanderthals are adapted to cold &amp; dry air, but this popular idea is not based on scientific facts. Although Neanderthals probably generally lived in colder climates than most H.sapiens do/did, they didn&#39;t live in very cold climates, and they were biologically adapted to live along the coasts &amp; rivers. Neanderthal pachyosteosclerosis (thick &amp; dense, but brittle skeletons, intermediate between erectus &amp; sapiens) is only seen in littoral mammals, and this is exactly where all Neanderthal fossils &amp; tools have been found: Mediterranean &amp; Atlantic coasts, river valleys &amp; oxbow lakes, typically with reeds &amp; 1 or 2 species of beaver. The large &amp; projecting nose &amp; midface of Neanderthals is the opposite of what could be expected in polar regions (Allen&#39;s Rule) but is often seen in wetland &amp; littoral species, google e.g. &quot;unproven assumptions so-called aquatic ape hypothesis&quot;.

One use it had was for its anti-louse properties; it protected against body lice, an irritating problem for many in the era. Another use it had was to facilitate the removal of spears, arrows, and reduce the likelihood of infection from deep puncture wounds associated with those and with sword punctures as well. It was an essential undergarment material for warriors, knights, soldiers, etc. The cloth was bought from different sources, no doubt much of it from the Muslim world. The wearers may have been aware of Arabic words, or again, they may have not. In lieu of written records stating that Vikings who wore the silks were aware of the inscriptions&#39; meanings, I don&#39;t think we can assume a definitive answer either way.Glaucushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11799894153935980165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839408535359235606.post-57192596706221955472017-10-20T06:41:47.792+03:002017-10-20T06:41:47.792+03:00Try not to shave anything for a day or so before d...Try not to shave anything for a day or so before dipping in the <a href="http://deadseaproductstore.com" rel="nofollow">dead sea</a> The water is very salty and you WILL feel the burn!
